Gusbourne's main vineyards are in Appledore, Kent

Gusbourne has become the first English wine producer to receive a Chairman’s Trophy from the Champagne and Sparkling Wine World Championships (CSWWC).

The Kent-based winemaker swept the awards , which judged over 1,000 sparkling wines. It secured three ‘best in class’ trophies, six gold medals, and accounted for over half of England’s 11 golds this year.

Head winemaker Mary Bridges at Gusbourne said she was “delighted” with the performance.

“It feels truly special to receive the Chairman’s Trophy in recognition of the consistently excellent quality we strive for in every bottle,” she said.

Three of Gusbourne’s sparkling wines won ‘best in class’ trophies, including the Agrafe 2020, Brut Reserve 2021 and Blanc de Noirs 2020.
